Hi there! My jade plant has been growing strong for 2+ years. The “trunk” is now pretty thick. Does anyone recommend I repot it into a bigger pot? I’ve got some 6” ones but those might be too big. I’ve honestly been surprised at how this one just keeps growing. Thank you!
Plant it into a 4 if you have one. But I would put it in the 6 to let it grow even bigger

I don’t see 6 being a problem. Just don’t panic with transplant shock. Amend your watering. I like to put a thicker layer of perlite at the base of the new pot to avoid pooling water. Account for the new space and a water bit less or less frequently. And if you’re worried about it, you could use Terra cotta, but I don’t know this plant very well, so I don’t know it’s water needs off hand
